Babble 041


Kolkata is situated in Ganges delta basin and temperate climatic zone. Other than winter three months humidity remains above 80% all the time and mostly 95% daytimes. An electric fan is very essential for minimum comfort. This also helps to disturb attacking mosquitoes and flies.

In Kolkata houses are desired to be south facing. Most of the time of the year cool air comes from seashores 40 miles away in the South. In winter air comes from north. Houses are preferred to be South and East open. If they can afford people make big wooden shuttered windows and ceilings high. And make big verandas to use daylight for daily works. These houses consume less electricity than other houses.

Due to good ancestral decisions Ignoramus is living in such a house. This computer and internet, his addition and addiction, consumes electricity. His cell phone a recent addition consumes energy too.

Cooking is done by gas LPG. A part of it could be done by solar energy, not yet explored in the family.

How to take pictures of foggy morning? That is view from veranda, 1st floor, of his house. This camera consumes electricity.

ignoramus is thinking of green habits.

Correction: Kolkata is in sub-tropical weather zone and not in Temparate climate.
